Plaza la Reina

Wonderful room and Next to Hammer Museum.

Welcoming staff. Loved the vibe and rooftop lounge.

Excellent accommodation

This was my second visit and I still can’t say enough good things about this place. Westwood is no longer a place that has any reason to visit. However, its proximity to Beverly Hills and Century City make it a great choice. Service, security and accommodations are outstanding.

Location close to ICLA; and terrific staff — from Hina and Philippe at the front desk, to the maintenance gentleman who is right at your room, day and evening, in 2 minutes if you need a light bulb changed, or help operating an appliance or TV.

Stayed for nearly 3 weeks in June / July.
Plaza La Reina is in an excellent location in Westwood, making it easy to explore the area while still feeling like a peaceful retreat after a busy day out in LA. Good security. Plenty of good restaurants, supermarkets, cafes and bars nearby. Perfect for UCLA and Ronald Reagan Medical Centre. You must visit the wonderful Hamer Museum of Art across the road and the cool restaurant there.

Our suite was huge (honestly, it was bigger than many apartments), scrupulously clean and very well equipped with an excellent washer and dryer, a good kitchenette (but no toaster) and plenty of storage — all particularly useful for a longer 3 week stay. Good ducted A/C (took a few days to figure out its idiosyncrasies, but all good eventually). In fact, the suite was better than we expected and much larger than the pictures on line suggest.
There’s multi-level parking below the hotel but we didn’t use it so can’t comment on functionality.

The rooftop garden terrace is fabulous, with huge olive and cumquat trees and plenty of comfy seating. We took wine and take-away dinners up there and enjoyed the sunset views. There’s also a large ground level courtyard with a gorgeous collection of potted plants. There is a real sense of character throughout the property, with the Spanish Mission style carried through very consistently. Not to everyone’s taste, but we found it all charming.

The "gym" is just a treadmill on the roof, and there isn't a pool. You can visit a gym nearby and a couple of places for Reformer Pilates, so it wasn't a big deal for us.

Staff members Hina, Eyrie and Vivienne (apologies for missing out one other lovely lady whose name has escaped me) were friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, always happy to assist and genuinely interested in making sure everything was right. Philippe, the owner, has created a property where that personal level of service is clearly part of the philosophy.

We had an issue with sink drainage in the bathroom. Mentioned it to Reception and it was fixed within hours.

The only minor downside was that our particular suite was a little dark, although that was due to our novice choice of room. The bed wasn’t a king size, so I would book another category next time.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You can’t beat the location and would happily return but book a different suite with a more open outlook.

We've previously stayed at The W nearby , but Plaza La Reina will be our new go-to for future visits.

Recommended.

Location and quietness. Love the hardwood floors and the bathroom tile.

Plaza La Reina is a gem! I lived in Los Angeles for years and my friends and I had not heard of it. I was very happy to find it on TripAdvisor.

It’s perfectly located in Westwood. I was in LA to visit clients in Brentwood and DTLA. My daughter joined me to visit friends. She was able to walk or take a short Uber ride to meet up with them.

Walking into the lobby reminded me of entering a boutique hotel in Rome. The rooms are perfectly appointed with high quality construction, full kitchen complete with dishwasher, nice sitting area and bathroom. Very comfy King bed.

Our only issue was parking at check in as the meters and loading only spaces were occupied. The hotel’s garage is convenient although the spaces are small. It was warm during our stay and the AC was a bit complicated to figure out.

I usually stay with friends when in LA but definitely will stay here again!

Good location

Район очень классный. Так приятно, комфортно гулять по району. Наши дети были в летнем лагере на базе университета, и мы специально бронировали жилье рядом, т.к. младшую нужно было отводить утром в лагерь. Эти прогулки утром и вечером были бесподобны. Университетский городок со своими парками, площадками, кампусами, больницами это чудесно! Больше мед.направлений й в UCLA , возможно из за этого такая атмосфера тут.
Сам отель новый , но построен под старину, что тоже очень здорово. Номер был большим. Кухня полностью оборудована, всегда завтракали дома, иногда и по вечерам готовили. Есть машинка стиральная и сушилка, что тоже замечательно.

This property is amazing! It’s quiet, it feels like a sanctuary in the middle of the UCLA area, it’s safe. The staff is great, responsive. It has all the amenities for a peaceful stay
